When you buy a home in Utah, your buyer’s agent earns a commission—typically 2.5%–3% of the purchase price. On a $600,000 home, that’s $15,000–$18,000. At most brokerages, the agent keeps all of it. At DiscountAgent.com, you get approximately half of it back at closing—real money, in your pocket, on the day you get your keys.

This isn’t a gimmick or a teaser rate. It’s a business model. I’ve been rebating 50% of the buyer agent commission since 2006—on every purchase, every loan type, every price point from condos to million-dollar estates.…

Millcreek Common is the most ambitious public space project on the Wasatch Front—and it’s not even finished yet. What started as an unincorporated stretch of aging strip malls and surface parking between Highland Drive and 1300 East has become an award-winning town square with a year-round skating loop, a 65-foot climbing wall, a public market, local restaurants, and a programming calendar that draws thousands of residents weekly.

Phase 2 broke ground in May 2025 and will add a 19-hole mini-golf course (the only one in northern Salt Lake…

Updated: June 2026 • West Jordan, Utah • 8 min read

The median home in West Jordan, Utah sells for approximately $565,000. At the average Utah commission of 5.71%, that’s $32,262 in agent fees. West Jordan is Salt Lake County’s third-largest city and one of the best values in the south valley—but paying over $32,000 in commission on a home that’s already competitively priced doesn’t make sense when full-service discount options exist. You can save $8,400–$11,300 on the listing side with the same MLS exposure, photography, and negotiation.
